Ham and Vegetable Croquettes

Ideas for kids' lunches are more successful when they are creative. These ham and vegetable croquettes will be a great option if your kids don’t like sandwiches or if you want to prepare them the night before. To ensure a good consistency, we recommend adding more cheese if you notice the croquettes are too soft.

  • In a bowl, mash the potatoes until you achieve a semi-fine puree. Then add the carrot, zucchini, broccoli, egg, panela cheese, and ham. Season with salt and pepper.
  • With the help of your hands, form patties, flour them, dip in the egg, and bread them. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat, fry the croquettes on both sides, and then place them on absorbent paper to remove excess grease.
  • On a baking paper and with the help of a small bowl, draw the face of the squirrel with your Maped® pen, then cut out the silhouette with the help of your Maped® scissors.
  • Place the paper template over the cheese and using your Maped® cutter, cut the cheese along the outline of the paper.
  • To form the eyes, cut the edges of the olives and with the help of a small cutter, cut the mouth and cheeks. To form the ears, cut two circles of ham and cut them in half.
  • Decorate the croquettes by forming the face with cheese, ham, olives, carrot, and insert the ears with toothpicks.
  • Serve in your Maped® Picnik accompanied by vegetables, ready to go.
